Most threads don't start as system war threads. You can have a simple "Should I buy MBP?" thread which will turn into Windows vs OS X. Not necessarily a fight because oftentimes, a PC is a better option for the OP (e.g. very low budget, heavy gamer, native Windows needed a lot etc).

Besides, lately the discussion has mainly taken place in big threads, so there aren't many threads like that anyway.
